August 17

We have another errand today but otherwise it should be an easy day. I have been looking at the gardens and thinking about what plants should be removed to make room for the fall flowers. A couple need watering.

The Maui aftermath continues to horrify. The latest death toll is 110 and growing. I heard that thee tally of the missing is still about 1000. The estimate of the costs to rebuild also are increasing and are staggeringly large. I have heard estimates of between $2billion and $6billion. By the way I did a Google search for the number of billion dollar plus weather events. So far this year the tally stands at 15 without the Maui fire. We had 18 all of last year.
